At the Who Do You Think You Are? Live event I caught up with Tom Dennis, the new editor of Your Family Tree magazine, who I not only got to reveal a tale of bigamy in his ancestry, but who I also managed to get to thank his designer publicly (you owe me one Alex!).
(With thanks to Tom)

Great Interview. I really appreciate it when people take the time to sit down and do great genealogy-related interviews on camera.
ReplyDeletePutting a face behind a name is very important.
Glad you liked it - plenty more on the way!

Great interview looking forward to other interviews.
ReplyDeleteOff to find them on Twitter.
Fab interview, very informative! I love Your Family Tree magazine & great to see the Editor taking the time to do this.
ReplyDeleteChris, loved your interview with Tom and the relaxed style of the presentation.
ReplyDeleteI too went to the "Who Do You Think You Are? Live" show and Tom became my first ever interviewee on video for my NoseyGenealogist.com/blog !
I have to say you were much less uptight than I think I was (do my nerves show that much?), but Tom Dennis was great and gave me a great interview about what to expect in the magazine in the next few months.

Hi Nick,
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, I did see your interview on the YFT Facebook page, glad to see I wasn't the only one to grill Tom! (Great minds think alike!).

As Tom Dennis's mother, I'd like to put the record straight!! My grandfather [Tom's g.grandfather] did go to America in the 1870's and marry there. He MAY have been a bigamist ...... no American divorce/ death records yet found. His 2nd marriage, in Scotland, records him as a widower!! So, get on with the research Tom.
ReplyDeleteYou tell him Mrs Dennis...! lol :)
